Investigate the physics that makes a difference between a strike, a spare, and a gutter ball. Explore the sport and science of bowling through the lens of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. We look at important terms such as friction, force, gravity, mass, momentum, inertia, and velocity and see how they play out as the bowling ball is released and tracks down the lane to contact with the pins. We investigate how bowling technology utilizes the science of physics to enhance the success of both the recreational bowler and the professional. And as, always, we incorporate audience questions throughout the program.

This program builds on our Part 1 program from last year. In Part 1, available on our website at http://www.hectv.org/video/3709/the-science-behind-the-new-mississippi-river-bridge-2/, we focused on the foundation work to build the bridge’s piers in the river and create the two cable-stayed towers. In Part 2, the focus is on the bridge’s cable-stayed design and building the road and deck surfaces. Why was a cable-stayed design chosen? How do the towers and cables work together to handle the seismic and physical forces at work on the bridge? How is the bridge deck and road surface put in place? How is the bridge connected to the roads used for access and egress? Learn answers to these questions and more as you hear from engineers, designers and constructors who are built this new bridge over the Mississippi River in St. Louis.
